Re: Tea Cosy!
Who cares who designed it, the fact that you did the embroidery on that is absolutely amazing - it's very clever! 
Well done you!

Re: Tea Cosy!
WOW - I love it!
How long have you been embroidering? Is this something that most people could do, or does it use advanced techniques?
It's lovely.

Re: Tea Cosy!
That's so pretty! I'd love to make one - but I'm not that clever! Well done!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Tea Cosy!
bonnie - it was really easy, i just drew out the picture onto the fabric and then long-stitched the whole thing. its not particularly formulaic, which you cant tell by the photos, but a beginner could easily do it!
and the whole point is i dont have the patience of a saint, because i wanted it NOW! lol
thanks for all your comments!

Re: Tea Cosy!
I'm really impressed! That is truly beautiful.
Thank you for reminding me that, wiith a bit of imagination and effort, it is possible to make your own version, inspired by something you've coveted, without spending the mega-simoleons that the original would have cost!

We all have two gifts we should try to use as much as possible - imagination and humour.
Imagination compensates us for what we are not.
A sense of humour consoles us for what we are.
And wisdom tells us not to worry about it!
